Cannabis in Mendocino County: Our Story

The Mendocino County Museum has invited staff from the Counter Culture Museum and Archives to share their experience documenting and collecting the history of Cannabis and Counterculture. Join us for the third of three thought provoking forums about preserving the evolving history of cannabis in Mendocino County.

About the Counter Culture Museum and Archive: Gathering from the collections of Richard Jergenson, historian and archivist, and through the use of exhibits, educational lectures, films, writings, and oral histories, the Counter Culture Museum and Archive (CCM Archive) interprets the diverse and complex roles that cannabis and counterculture have played in Mendocino County and beyond. The Counter Culture Museum and Archive continues to collect, preserve, and exhibit memorabilia detailing the history of hemp and cannabis in the Emerald Triangle and beyond.

Mendocino County Museum will share a small selection of their archival materials pertaining to the Back to the Land Movement and Cannabis, available for public research.
